Icons8

What is Icons8?

Icons8 for Mac is a native graphics library app that helps designers and developers find visual assets for user interfaces, presentations, websites, and other creative work. It gives quick access to a large catalog of icons along with illustrations and photos, so users can search in one place and drag assets directly into their projects. Common uses include choosing interface symbols, preparing mockups, building presentations, and collecting artwork for design systems. The app is especially useful in workflows that move between design tools and general macOS apps because it focuses on fast search, preview, and export-ready asset access. Published by Ivan Boyko, it fits best as a graphics and design helper for people who regularly work with visual content on Mac.

Key features

• Browse a large library of icons, illustrations, and photos
• Search assets by keyword to find graphics quickly
• Drag graphics directly into design and document apps
• Preview assets before adding them to a project
• Use artwork for interface mockups, presentations, and creative layouts

Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

This app is used to browse and export design assets, so ordinary file access for saving downloads or dragging items into other apps can be expected. If you sign in, your account activity and saved assets may sync with the service. It is generally fine to keep if you use visual assets regularly, but only grant access you actually need and sign out if you no longer use the service on this Mac.

Recommendation: Keep it if you use Icons8 assets for design, mockups, or presentations on your Mac. If you no longer use it, you can remove it without affecting macOS, though any saved app preferences or offline asset access tied to the app may no longer be available.
